I have a 2001 gt five speed with a mac prochamber, magnaflow mufflers, richmond 4:10s, diablo predator and a k&n and my best time was a 13.78 at 102 mph. Is this about what it should run or am i a little bit off? Oh yeah this was on bfg kdws 275/40/17's

ET seems pretty good, trap is really good. Heck you out trapped me, but its odd I did the 1/8 in 8.69 @ 80.86, the 1/4 in 13.58 @ 100.29. My 1/8 trap was higher, but my 1/4 trap was way lower LOL. We did have a 20-25MPH head wind though. BTW I pulled a 1.909 60' on my very first pass on the 285s with a 3200RPM launch. So I say that you should work on the launch.

I agree with HotMustang, you're 60' seems a little high considering 4.10's and your other mods.. Are you spinning off the line? You could probably improve by a few tenths, not that I could do better .

With 4.10's, Nitto DR's and a few other mods I ran 13.40@103 with a 1.97 60 ft.
This was in a 99 GT 5 speed.

Yeah it spun pretty bad so drag radials are the next thing on my list of things to get. I just bought two 16 inch wheels off of a '94 gt so i'm just gonna buy some for those wheels and just chage them at the track.

That time seems decent.If your looking into drag radails you
should seriously consider Nitto drag radails because they hook
and stick to the track great when warm or hot.
Nitto's

Drag radials? You mean the ET Streets? I assure you those are in no way radial . They're basically slicks with a couple lines to make them DOT legal. I'm sure they hook extremely well.

Nope. Mickey Thompson has a new ET street drag radial. They are supposed to hook pretty damn good, but wont last as long as a Nitto or BFG.

Well I'll only be using them at the track because i have two seperate wheels just for them so i'm not real concerned with how long they will last just how good they hook.

go get the weather info from that night. you had a ok 60 foot and your MPH is where it should be. but your ET is a little off. i bet your upshifts are a little slow. or your not powershifting at all. and a tin bit harder out of the hole and you will get a 13.5 or so.
